A few days ago I came in from a walk, and saw two croci in the garden by the entrance to my condo, and realized that that was to be my next daily painting. As I was photographing it, a neighbor commented that they had just bloomed that day-that he had watched them unfold through the day.
As I composed the painting, I realized that one flower worked better than two. And I found I had to buy some purple-I just couldn't mix that vibrant color with the paint in my box. And I got the chance to do my favorite thing-be crazy and loose with the ground, and more focused and detailed with the flower. I love that contrast in a painting.

Todd,
I know how nice it is to receive feedback in the form of comments so I'm coming out of the woodwork to say "hi" and tell you that the crocus is fabulous.
